WARNING: Handling of the battery
• Keep the battery out of the reach of small children. If a child swallows the bat-
tery, contact a physician immediately.
CAUTION: Replacing the battery
• For replacement of the battery, take your watch to your dealer or Citizen Service
Center.
• Replace the battery as soon as possible if the service life of the battery has ex-
pired. Leaving a depleted battery in the watch may result in leakage, which can
damage the watch severely.
CAUTION: Operating environment
• Use the watch within the operating-temperature range specified in the instruc-
tion manual.
Using the watch where temperatures are outside the specified range, may result
in deterioration of functions or even stoppage of the watch.
• Do NOT use the watch in places where it is exposed to high temperature, such as
in a sauna.
Doing so may result in a skin burn.
• Do NOT leave the watch in a place where it is exposed to high temperature, such
as the glove compartment or dash-board of a car.
Doing so may result in deterioration of the watch, such as deformation of plastic
parts.
• Do NOT place the watch close to a magnet.
Timekeeping will become inaccurate if you place the watch close to magnetic
health equipment such as a magnetic necklace or a magnetic latch of a refrigera-
tor door or handbag clasp or the earphone of a mobile phone. If this has oc-
curred, move the watch away from the magnet and reset the time.
• Do NOT place the watch close to household appliances that generate static elec-
tricity.
Timekeeping may become inaccurate if the watch is exposed to strong static elec-
tricity, such as is emitted from a TV screen.
• Do NOT subject the watch to a strong shock such as dropping it onto a hard
floor.
• Avoid using the watch in an environment where it may be exposed to chemicals
or corrosive gases.
